You can imagine how happy the mice were. Seven of the most dignified officials of theirs decided to go bring the cat presents, as a sign of their thankfulness for her prudent decision. One brought a glass of wine, one a large platter with saffron-rice, one an elegant bowl filled with walnuts and raisins, one brought a basket with sweet golden-brown dates, one brought cheese, one yoghurt, butter and bread and, finally, one brought lemon ice. With great respect they bowed in front of the cat: «Please, honorable cat» the seven mice entreated her «take these presents from us, your most unworthy servants.»
